We welcome Bitcoin Core developer Dr. Johnson Lau to give a presentation about "The Art of Reaching Consensus in Blockchain System".

Highlights include:

• how consensus is formed and maintained in a decentralized system
• why is it difficult to reach new consensus

The talk is followed by a short panel discussion.
